Hello everyone... I don't often remember to schedule my posts, but I know I'm going to have a busy day so thought I'd better do it this time... I'm typing this at midnight and I'm a wee bit tired, so off to bed as soon as I've done!

I'm here with my DT card for Sugar Nellie, and I've used one of the lovely fairies from the Fairy Glen collection.

This is another of my new Darkroom Door stamps... I wanted to leave most of it uncoloured and just add a pop of colour to the surfboards, but I'm not sure if it really worked - maybe I should have used different colours.

Hello.... Ooh it's been so cold today! Well it has been for the last few days I suppose, but I was forced outside for the school run today... brrrr! There's ice and slushy snow everywhere too, I don't like it at all.

I have another male card today, with one of my new Darkroom Door stamps... they have some fab stamps for male cards :o)

Hubby was meant to be going out this evening, so I had my craft room evening all planned out... But they've had to cancel due to the snow (where is spring?)... Pav's going to watch a film that I'm not bothered about watching though, so I'll still get a couple of hours crafting.

Today's card is for an order, for a girl who likes dancing... I thought of this image straight away, lovely isn't she? I've also used my new heart banner die that I pre-ordered 2 months ago and finally received this week!

Hubby took today off so we could have a 'just us' day while the boys are at school... unfortunately it snowed quite badly, so we decided not to risk going anywhere, we're having a lazy day at home instead. Pav cooked a very yummy breakfast and now we're catching up on some of our favourite tv shows.

Hello! Something a bit different today... I keep being asked for male cards that aren't cute - inconsiderate men expecting grown up cards eh lol?! So I'm trying to 'grow' my collection of sensible male themed stamps at the moment, and this is one of my new ones...

Well I'm fairly late again... busy again, but it's been a good day :o)

I have another Gorjuss Girl card today, but this time using the new decoupage pack and papers from Docrafts... so easy to put them together when you have matching papers, and they're the sort of cards that are very popular in the gift shop.

Items Used

6.5" square card blank cut from Papermill ivory linen cardstock

Image - Docrafts Gorjuss Girl Ultimate Decoupage pack

Papers - Docrafts Gorjuss Girl (not sure which ones, I bought them in every size lol!)

I'm having a very happy, if busy, week in my craft room - just struggling a bit to fit in blogging... Oh, and I had all my hair cut off too, which always cheers me up... I've now got a very short bob, and I dyed it red too :o) Just what I needed after all these nasty bugs, which are hopefully going to leave us alone for a while now!

Hello!.. Happy Mother's Day to all the mums, and hugs to all those who need them.

I've had a bit of a busy day and some lovely pressies - I got daffodils and tulips, and hubby enlisted the lovely Teresa's help to choose me some fab goodies from My Crafty Heart, so I've got gorgeous new stuff to play with too :o)

I'm just popping in quickly with the Mother's Day card I made for my mum - it's a decoupage one which is what she likes at the moment...

So, not really my usual style, but Mum loved it and that's the main thing. I'm a bit miffed too - I ordered flowers and chocs to be delivered for her on Mother's Day and they arrived yesterday... I searched around and specifically chose a florists that said they could deliver on the actual day, and paid for delivery when I could have got them delivered free on a different day. So I'm not impressed really! At least they arrived I suppose, could have been worse...

I'm not having the best week, but I'm boring myself moaning lately so let's move swiftly on!

I made these cards days ago, using the new For Mum set from DigiStamp Boutique, but haven't had chance to blog them... obviously it's a Mother's Day set, but the images could easily be used for Mum birthdays too and you get gorgeous matching papers too :o)

Keeping this short so I can visit some of your blogs... I'm so behind now, there's no hope of me ever catching up but I'm trying!

Well, what a rotten weekend I've had! I was just saying on Saturday morning how much better I was feeling, and hoping all the bugs were done with for a while... By Saturday evening I'd started with a tummy bug and was very very sick! Now Dex is off school poorly, I've got so much to do and I'm soooo behind with all your blogs - really sorry :o(

Luckily I made this one last week... Our new challenge at Without Words is 'A Time for Renewal' with a focus on spring or Easter. We're sponsored by the lovely Janet at Pink Gem Designs. I made another Mother's Day card (surprise, surprise lol). We'd love to see lots of you join in - but don't forget, you need a hand-coloured image and a clean & simple design.

Today we're having a blog hop to celebrate the release of the gorgeous new Sugar Nellie 'Bags of Fashion' rubber stamps - there's 4 of them, and they're all fabulous! They're also available at a special price for all of them, for this weekend only.

I'm the first on the hop this time, so you should have arrived here from the Sugar Nellie blog.

This is Morgan... my eldest son is not impressed with her name lol, he hates it when girls are called the same as him! I've kept my card quite simple as the papers are fairly busy, but I thought she suited the funky colours :o)
